Young professionals leading change in Augusta and beyond

Civic engagement isn’t just about volunteering—it’s a pathway to shaping communities and building meaningful careers. In this episode of In the Wild, we highlight how Augusta University fosters civic responsibility by talking to alum Shannon Sombar and current student James Allen from Young Professionals of Augusta (YPA). We also sit down with Tionna Thornton and Jaida Jeffreys from Student Life and Engagement to explore how students can get involved, make a local impact, and develop leadership skills that last a lifetime.

Whether you’re passionate about public service or just getting started, this episode offers insights on turning civic engagement into lasting change.
